Chapter 116: Lu Xun's Counterattack

After thinking it over, this is the only possibility.

The timing of this magic visit team's arrival is too coincidental.

Lu Xun unintentionally broke Barbara's curse; after the witch noticed, the magic visit team came.

However, Lu Xun is not completely certain.

Because several magic academies have dispatched magic visit teams.

These are all extremely famous Western magic academies, belonging to different forces.

Does that witch really have such ability?

Or is Aodaili that witch?

No.

Aodaili probably isn't.

Barbara is a princess of a planet far ahead of Lan Xing on the ancient starry road.

Lu Xun doesn't know her exact strength.

But judging from the power of her curses, her strength definitely won't be weak.

Aodaili is only at the Fourth Realm; if she were the witch, that would be too weak.

If the witch is truly as powerful as Barbara said, to deal with me, would she still need to trick me into entering a house?

"Why isn't this curse causing cramps anymore?"

At this moment, Lu Xun actually hopes the curse causes cramps, so he can ask Barbara about the witch she mentioned.

Since the curse doesn't cause cramps, he can actually try the dispelling technique again.

After careful consideration, Lu Xun decides to steady himself first.

After setting aside the matter of Aodaili, Lu Xun sees a new message.

Sent by Luo Da Sheng.

The He family has raised the bounty on Lu Xun on the dark net to twenty cubic dark energy.

That is a full twenty million units of dark energy.

Compared to the previous price, it's five times higher!

Twenty cubic dark energy is a deadly temptation for Fourth Realm cultivators.

It's easy to imagine how many Fourth Realm cultivators will be tempted after the He family's price increase.

Lu Xun's situation will become even more difficult.

Of course, with his current strength, he actually isn't that afraid of Fourth Realm cultivators.

The problem is that not all Fourth Realm cultivators are the same.

Like the Fourth Realm assassin who previously attacked Lu Xun, his strength is actually weak among Fourth Realm cultivators.

The Fourth Realm Captain Xiao whom Lu Xun made vomit blood is only an early-stage Fourth Realm cultivator.

Early-stage Fourth Realm cultivators have a low level of true intent.

If it's a mid-stage Fourth Realm cultivator, whether martial cultivator or immortal cultivator, the horror level is even higher.

Let alone late-stage Fourth Realm cultivators.

After reaching the Fourth Realm, the gap between early, mid, and late stages is greater than the gap from the First to Fourth Realm.

The division into early, mid, and late stages is every three layers constituting one stage.

For example, layers one, two, three of the Fourth Realm are early stage; layers four, five, six are mid stage; layers seven, eight, nine are late stage.

Layer ten is the peak.

"He family..."

Lu Xun's gaze turned cold.

This He family really never ends.

They actually dare to spend such a high price.

Looking at this, Ahuan's injury must be severe, possibly even damaging his foundation.

That's why the He family has gone all out, determined to kill Lu Xun.

Perhaps Fourth Realm assassins won't act now.

But once Lan Xing enters the ancient starry road, there will be plenty of Fourth Realm assassins wanting to kill Lu Xun.

"Da Sheng, how did you post a killing bounty on the dark net?"

Lu Xun decided to do something.

He can't keep being passive and taking hits.

Although, so far he actually hasn't suffered any loss.

"Lu Brother, it's simple: you disguise yourself, go to the Ghost Market in the Capital City, find an organization called the Dark Palace..."

Luo Da Sheng taught the method to Lu Xun.

After obtaining the method, Lu Xun made a disguise and hurried out with Xiao Bai.

He was very careful, choosing to leave through a small school gate.

After all, the price of twenty cubic dark energy might tempt some Fourth Realm assassins to take the risk.

Half a day later.

On the outskirts of the Capital City, in a dim underground passage, Lu Xun entered.

At this moment, his appearance had completely changed; his whole body was wrapped in a thick black cloak, and he wore a mask capable of blocking divine sense probing.

The passage was filled with a rotten moldy smell and foul odor, mixed with a pungent chemical medicine stench, making one want to vomit.

Lu Xun frowned slightly, his spiritual power circulated, forming an invisible barrier three inches outside his body, completely isolating the suffocating foul air.

Immortal Cultivation's abilities are actually quite comprehensive; some minor spells Lu Xun Lu Xun can still learn.

For example, the Cleansing Dust Technique only requires forming a hand seal, and all bodily filth will melt away like snow meeting the morning sun.

For example, there is a Cleansing Technique that can directly make the body clean.

Another example is the Turtle Breath Technique; once mastered, it allows a cultivator to sustain life in places like a vacuum.

As for martial cultivators, after opening the two secret apertures of the five viscera and six bowels in the three realms, even if they are in the Nine Nether Absolute Region, they can still breathe normally.

At this point, the martial cultivator's Dark Energy circulates internally within the body, forming an endless cycle, equivalent to "internal circulation."

Getting back to the point, Lu Xun walked along the passage, continually going deeper.

From time to time, one could still see people wrapped in blankets sleeping.

Even in a prosperous place like the capital, there is still human suffering.

But these are not entirely the fringe of society.

For example, as Lu Xun passed by a person, that person suddenly leapt up from the ground, wielding a dagger, and actually tried to rob Lu Xun.

His strength is not bad; he has already opened his meridians.

Lu Xun flicked his finger, and that person was sent flying over ten meters.

Others with ill intentions were subdued.

Lu Xun continued forward.

Finally, Lu Xun found a sewer cover, opened it, and jumped down.

Continuing to wind downwards,

After more than ten minutes, an extraordinarily bustling underground city appeared in Lu Xun's view.

This is the Ghost Market of the capital.

Hidden beneath the prosperity and brilliance lies another side of the capital.

The Ghost Market is not under official supervision; as long as no major trouble is caused, generally no one manages it.

Here one can buy contraband, and it is also a place where cultivators handle dirty items.

Because here they only recognize goods, not people.

As long as the goods are good, someone will buy them.

In fact, larger cities basically have similar places.

Such places, even if one day officials raid them, often quickly spring up elsewhere.

Lu Xun went deeper.

Along the way, he gave a lesson to several guys trying to steal.

He also once soft-heartedly gave some money to several disabled children, but these children immediately handed it over to two middle-aged men lurking in the shadows.

Upon discovering this, Lu Xun quietly activated a small flying sword and gave those two guys a swift end.

"Truly the dark side of the world."

Indeed, all these aspects of the Ghost Market can truly be called the dark side of the world.

In fact, the Ghost Market is connected to the underground capital.

That is, it is part of the area of the old capital that was buried by a past catastrophe.

There, many marginal humans and unwelcomed foreign races still reside.

"Dark Hall."

Finally, Lu Xun arrived at the Dark Hall.

This is where murder bounties are posted on the dark web.

The Dark Hall is exceptionally mysterious; few people know of its existence.

In fact, it has no name; it is merely called Dark Hall by people on the dark web.

No one knows who the founder is or what identity they have.

Luo Dasheng only knows that the Dark Hall has a good reputation.

After posting a bounty, if the deadline passes with no one taking it or it isn't completed, the money can be refunded.

After accepting a bounty and completing the mission, one need not worry about not receiving payment.

Because the money must first be given to the Dark Hall.

Lu Xun entered inside.

Although called a 'hall', it is actually just an ordinary building with few people inside; even if ordinary people entered, they would likely not know what it is for.

Lu Xun found it according to the hidden Dark Hall symbol.

He went all the way inside, and finally, outside a room that looked sparse and ordinary, he saw a picture posted on the wall, torn so that less than half remained.

In the picture's night sky hung a crescent moon whose lower half was obscured by clouds.

Lu Xun tore the picture completely off and walked in.

Inside there was no one.

Lu Xun took out a pen and lightly dotted three small circles inside the moon arc.

These three dots symbolize Dark Hall's "pay first, execute, deliver" integrity system.

"Speak, what is it?"

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Lu Xun took out a spatial bag, took out Dark Energy from inside, and said: "I want to kill two people."
